My intended major of study in college is Nursing. I plan to become a pediatric nurse. Technology is very important in many work places, including nursing. There are many studies that show that the use of certain technologies work to improve efficiency among nurses. Some technologies that nurses agree improve efficiency are non-acute and acute speciality information systems that interconnect many functions within one department, and robotics and dispensing systems (Covington et al). Also, after interviewing a nurse from Lakeland Regional Medical Center, I was informed of the most common technologies in which I will have learn how to use. He said the technologies I will encounter on a day to day basis are the Electrocardiogram (ECG), X-ray machine, and computers to enter in patient information. I realize that technology is a big part of my future career and I will have to learn how to use all technologies effectively.
